Sign the Petition to

Tanya Plibersek, Federal Minister for Health

After many many months of fighting, treating and looking for a cure,
the Merhi family has uncovered one last option to save their father's
life.

Michael Merhi requires sorafonib nexavar funded on the
Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for kidney cancer. It's an
effective treatment however it costs over $20,000 a month and without it
being covered on the PBS, this could be the end for Mr Merhi.

The
family is not asking for money or handout. All they would like is
enough awareness to get the attention of Tanya Plibersek, Federal
Minister for Health, to have no option but to take notice and use her
influence to help.

How this will help

This is the end of the line. Without sorafonib nexavar funded on the PBS, the family will not be able to afford the $20,000 monthly bill for this treatment and Michael Merhi's body will quickly shut down marking the end of Mr Merhi's life.
